Tropical storms also can temporarily remove excessive macroalgae, which can restrict coral recruitment and growth, although post-hurricane damage to coral cover and stirring of nutrients may lead to shifts to algal - dominated communities.

For organisms attached to the seafloor, such as marine macroalgae, there is no escape.

B12 is the only one difficult to obtain via plant foods (though certain sea vegetables and macroalgae do contain it), and thus is the ONLY vitamin vegans are recommended to supplement.

Here, using sand as a substrate, you plant macroalgae that use nutrients from fish or invertebrate waste as a food source.

Here, in a genetic approach to assessing past sea ice conditions, we use phylogeographical analyses of an ice - sensitive subantarctic macroalga to infer the extent of winter sea ice (WSI) during the LGM.

Physically formed by brown macroalgae, kelp forests provide a unique, three - dimensional habitat for marine organisms [4] and are a source for understanding many ecological processes.

Here, we report on experiments performed with North Atlantic populations of hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria), eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica), bay scallops (Argopecten irradians), and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) grown with and without North Atlantic populations of the green macroalgae, Ulva.

Loss of vegetated coastal habitats should lead to a decline in pH, whilst loss in the cover of corals and oyster reefs and regime shifts towards a great dominance of macroalgae may lead to increased pH (Anthony et al. 2011).

Unlike pelagic ecosystems, coastal ecosystems are often dominated by benthic ecosystems, including engineering species (e.g. corals, seagrass, macroalgae, salt marshes, mangroves, sponges, oyster reefs) with the capacity to modulate the chemical and physical conditions of their environment (Gutiérrez et al. 2011).

For instance, Arctic warming may allow the poleward spread of macroalgae and seagrasses, which could affect the pH of the coastal waters of these highly vulnerable regions seasonally.
